low Idle, lumpy Revs? 600



  172 Cup
basically my 172 was missfiring popping while driving at mainly in higher revs, and idling low/lumpy. i changed the Saprk plugs to Bosch Super 4s and the popping / miss firing has stopped however its idling at about 600revs after a good 5mins is this normal?

also could the injectors possibly being clogged causing this? as when i got the Car it was left standing for 5 days with the petrol gauge in the Red (stupid Dealer pr!ck) lol im going to add injector cleaner to a full tank (is this worth a try?)

thanks peeps

both are good try

but the NKG are the recommended for the 172

k-tec sell them cheaper than the dealer
